Free Covid test

Post by WHL »

I dont know if its the same over the west of the Island, but over here in the East, there are mobile units, set up out side Supermarkets etc, as I was waiting for my wife to get her Jumbo ''buying stuff we don't need '' fix, I got out of the car to stretch my legs, when the two ladies doing the tests called me over,
they asked me if I wanted to be tested, so I told them that I don't have any symptom's, and I hadn't traveled recently, no problem they said, you can still be tested, so as I cant refuse a freebie, I agreed to it, one of the ladies took my details, while the other put her green gown and mask on, swab of the mouth and another one way up the nose, which made my eyes water, result three days later all negative, they collared the wife on the way out and she had it done too.

I should add the tests were carried out by a private company called, ''Medcall'' very polite and professional.

That would be ideal for checking passengers before boarding aircraft,
